Yes, it's true... well sort of.

I have been involved with a tabletop RPG called Spycraft and its world setting Shadowforce Archer, and they ran a contest to come up with different cool spy type gadgets for their upcoming book called "The Shop" (for the Shadowforce Archer line), who are basically Q-Branch from the James Bond movies if they went bad.

I came up with an SL-inspired MMOG that The Shop uses for their purposes (and even credited SL for the inspiration), which won a Special Thanks award which was over and above the catagories for the contest (there were four prizes, but added the 5th just for me :D )

The book should be available at your friendly local gaming shop now or very soon.

Bye bye for now,
Alexis
